CHAMBERLA1N's sTUMPING TOUR
He Declares That Ulster viii Never be
Under Home Rulers


LONDON, Oct. 14.-Mr Chamberlain,
speaking at Bushmills, county Antrim, to-
day said that it was not the upper classes,
but it was the poorer classes of Ulster that
were opposed to the Parnellite proposals.
The artisans and farmers did not see any
chance of improving their condition under
the rule of men like the home rule members
of Parliament The poorer classes
rightly looked forward with the
greatest dread to the changes that would
be involved in the creation of a Parliament
at Dublin. He admitted that part of the
North of Ireland was strongly in favor of
home rule, but he was certain that If he
could infuSe into the people of Donegal the
same resolute law-abiding disposition as
that shown by the people of Antrim the
outcry for great constitutional changes
would become little heard. Mr., Chamber
lain referred to the persistent silence which
he claimed Mr.. Gladstone maintained re-
garding the form of his new home rule
bill.
GLADSToNE'S BIG PARADE.
The Gladstonians, he said, made q great
parade over the vague notifications of Mr..
Gladstone's original plan, but many earnest
Liberals remained totally unable to gather
| from Mr. CladStone's own utterances what
the changes really were. lCries of Hearl
hearl"l If an amended scheme existed,
| why did not Mr. Gladstone take the nation
into his contidence9 1t was not fair for a
leader to claim the trust of his followers
while refusing to give a clear insight into
his intentions. Upon a matter of life or
| death-surely, upon a question involving
the fate of the empire-Mr Gladstone might
even at this late hour make a clear, definite
statement, which plain men could under
] stand. In concluding be declared that it
was beyond the competency of the Parlia-
ment of the United Kingdom to dispose alb
solutely Of the destinies of any part of the
kingdom. Parliament might relieve Ulster
of its allegiance, and cut it adrift from the
empire, but it was not competent to transfer
the allegiance of Ulster to Parliament at
Dublin. In counseling Ulster 10 offer re
sistance he did not mean re
sort to physical force He put
that aside. [Cries of 'You needn't "
1t was constitutional resistance he meant
! If it were decided that home rule was desir-
able for the South of Ireland that would not
| justify the theory of home rule for Ulster,
which under the circumstances would not
submit TO it. [Cries of Never " Ami
mated by this spirit, the time would never
come when Ulster men would cease to be
citizens of the United Kingdom. [Cheers. !

| DAvITT AND THE KNIGHTS.
| MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Oct 14.-In an in
terview to-day Mr.. Powderly denied that
Michael Davitt had any secret projected
when he visited Minneapolis and the Gen
eral Assembly of the Knights of Labor last
week. There was no other object than
seeking Endorsement by the convention
of the efforts of the people of
Ireland to better their condition.
If there was any private conversation it
was no more than what would naturally
occur upon the meeting of two men deeply
interested in a kindred subject Davitt
came to this country principally on business
connected with his paper. and incidentally
| for his health.
